🔧 Enhanced Performance: Vibrant (1166) 2.5" Stainless Steel Exhaust Seal Clamp Review

Works but requires a heck of a lot of tightening. I don't see how you can tighten them enough to hold the pipe without a percussion gun. Even when I tightened as much as I could, there was still a little movement, so I decided to weld instead.

Used to replace the stock clamps that came with the Focus ST Mountune exhaust system. Easily positioned, clamped, and they get the job done. The nut is not stainless steel, which is a good thing, as stainless steel tends to become brittle and break under high torque (as standard nuts did).

Beautiful stainless steel clip. As with most other good clamps, the bolt and nut are not stainless steel, as stainless steel is soft and can break if you overtighten. I prefer to use these clamps on a pipe that has two or more slots in the downspout to make the clamp easier to fit. For my application I had aluminum steel tubing to work with.

Very well made, excellent materials. Check your measurements as these clamps are not very flexible, they fit just about the right size for the list and maybe a little more but not less. I used it to clamp a rear sliding joint between two rear silencers on a Range Rover P38. None of the other six collars I bought would give me a good seal. I've tried the guillotine clamp and other band clamps. They were either too weak and broke when I twisted them, or they just didn't have enough room to seal…

This is a high quality Torca clamp made in the USA. I used them on a 2.5" ID slip fit exhaust, so they are slightly larger than the OD. I've tried different types of band clamps to eliminate leaks in the past, but nothing has worked. I've even tried Walker exhaust system sealant but it doesn't help either. So I cleaned the exhaust and bought two of these and they fit and worked great. No more leaks. The screws are knurled so they bite into the center section when fully tightened to prevent…
